WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – August 7, 2026

Posted on August 7, 2026

[Español Abajo]

What is happening in Eastern and Central Washington is heartbreaking. We are all seeing the devastating impact of wildfires on families and communities across the region.

To everyone directly impacted: we see you. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe, and that anyone who needed to evacuate was able to do so safely.

Disasters like these do not affect everyone equally. Immigrant and refugee families often face additional barriers to receiving emergency alerts in a language they understand, replacing important documents lost in the fires, or asking institutions and government agencies for support—especially in this moment of heightened fear around immigration enforcement.

No one should be left without information or support because of their language, income, or immigration status. Whether you need help right now or are in a position to support others, we want to uplift some community organizations and resources to support those impacted:


RESOURCES FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY WILDFIRES
(Current as of August 7 – conditions and resources are changing quickly)

Manzanita House Spokane is sharing regular updates on their Instagram, and is maintaining a regularly updated list of local resources for support HERE.

Spokane Public Schools has released a full list of local resources to support impacted families in Spokane.

Unidos Nueva Alianza Foundation (UNA)is providing follow up support for community members and families impacted by the fires in Schawana and surrounding areas.

The Confederated Tribes & Bands of the Yakama Nation has curated a page with regular updates and resources for community members impacted by the Signal Peak, Ransier, and Red Sky fires.

You can also dial 211 from anywhere in WA to find current information about shelter, food, transportation, and other local assistance. Washington 211 has also created a dedicated Spokane wildfire resource page.


YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK DURING THE FIRES

These fires may also put many immigrant workers in a difficult position of having to choose between risking their health or losing income they depend on. Outdoor and agricultural workers often cannot simply escape the dangerous smoke, but no one should have to knowingly risk their health to support themselves.

WA employers have a responsibility to monitor wildfire smoke levels and take steps to reduce exposure if smoke levels become dangerous.

Workers also have the right to report unsafe working conditions or smoke-related symptoms and seek medical care without fear of retaliation.

If you report unsafe conditions and face retaliation, the WA Dept. of Labor & Industries (L&I) can help—contact any L&I office by calling 1-800-4BESAFE (1-800-423-7233), or by visiting: www.Lni.wa.gov/SafetyComplaints.


HOW YOU CAN HELP

WASHMASKS, a Mutual Aid organization supporting migrant & indigenous farmworkers is doing a pop-up donation drive this weekend in Seattle for migrant families and farmworkers impacted by the Spokane fires.

The Pacific Islander Community Association of Washington (PICA)is accepting support for Pasifika families impacted by the Spokane fires through its Spokane office.

In moments like this one, we must step up to help one another to ensure that no one has to go through this alone.

In care and solidarity,

The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network

P.S. Please forward this email to anyone you know who may need these resources, or is in a place to help. You can also text and call the WAISN Hotline at 1-844-724-3737 if you need resource navigation support.


[ENGLISH ABOVE]

Duele mucho ver lo que está pasando en el este y el centro de Washington. Todos estamos viendo el impacto devastador que los incendios forestales están teniendo en las familias y comunidades de toda la región.

A quienes están directamente afectados: estamos con ustedes. Esperamos que ustedes y sus seres queridos estén a salvo y que todos los que tuvieron que evacuar hayan podido hacerlo de manera segura.

Desastres como estos no afectan a todas las personas de la misma manera. Las familias de inmigrantes y refugiados a menudo se enfrentan a obstáculos adicionales para poder recibir alertas de emergencia en un idioma que puedan entender, reemplazar documentos importantes que hayan perdido en incendios o al pedir ayuda a instituciones y agencias del gobierno, sobre todo ahora que hay más miedo debido a las actividades de control migratorio que están ocurriendo.

Nadie debería quedarse sin información ni apoyo por su idioma, sus ingresos o su estatus migratorio. Ya sea que necesite ayuda ahora mismo o que pueda apoyar a otros, queremos compartir algunas organizaciones y recursos comunitarios para apoyar a las personas afectadas:


RECURSOS PARA LAS PERSONAS AFECTADAS POR LOS INCENDIOS FORESTALES
(Actualizado desde el 7 de agosto – las condiciones y recursos están cambiando rápidamente)

Manzanita House Spokane está publicando actualizaciones frecuentes en su Instagram y mantiene una lista de recursos locales de ayuda que actualiza regularmente AQUÍ.

Las escuelas públicas de Spokane publicaron una lista completa de recursos locales para ayudar a las familias afectadas de Spokane.

Fundación Unidos Nueva Alianza (UNA) está ofreciendo apoyo y seguimiento a los vecinos y a las familias afectadas por los incendios en Schawana y sus alrededores.

Las Tribus y Bandas Confederadas de la Nación Yakama crearon una página con actualizaciones periódicas y recursos para las personas de la comunidad afectadas por los incendios de Signal Peak, Ransier y Red Sky.

También puede llamar al 211 desde cualquier lugar de Washington para obtener información actualizada sobre refugios, comida, transporte y otros tipos de ayuda local. Washington 211 también ha creado una página web específica con recursos sobre los incendios forestales de Spokane.

SUS DERECHOS EN EL TRABAJO DURANTE LOS INCENDIOS

Estos incendios también pueden poner a muchos trabajadores inmigrantes en una situación difícil, en la que tienen que elegir entre arriesgar su salud o perder sus ingresos. Los trabajadores al aire libre y en el campo muchas veces no pueden escapar del humo peligroso, pero nadie debería tener que arriesgar su salud para poder sustentarse.

Los empleadores de Washington tienen la responsabilidad de monitorear los niveles de humo de los incendios forestales y de tomar medidas para reducir la exposición si alcanzan niveles peligrosos.

Los trabajadores también tienen derecho a reportar condiciones de trabajo inseguras o síntomas relacionados con el humo y a buscar atención médica sin miedo a represalias.

Si usted reporta condiciones inseguras y toman acciones en su contra, el Departamento de Trabajo e Industria de Washington (L&I, por sus siglas en inglés) puede ayudarle: póngase en contacto con cualquier oficina de L&I llamando al 1-800-4BESAFE (1-800-423-7233) o visitando: www.Lni.wa.gov/SafetyComplaints.

CÓMO PUEDE AYUDAR

WASHMASKS, una organización comunitaria que ayuda a trabajadores del campo migrantes e indígenas, va a organizar una campaña de donaciones este fin de semana en Seattle para las familias migrantes y los trabajadores agrícolas afectados por los incendios en Spokane.

La Asociación de la Comunidad de las Islas del Pacífico de Washington (PICA) está aceptando donaciones para las familias de la región de Pasifika afectadas por los incendios en Spokane en su oficina de Spokane.

En momentos como este, tenemos que unirnos y apoyarnos unos a otros para que nadie tenga que pasar por esto solo.

En solidaridad y cuidado,

La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington

P.D.: Por favor, envíe este correo a cualquier persona que necesite estos recursos o pueda ofrecer ayuda. También puede enviar un mensaje de texto o llamar a la Línea de Apoyo de WAISN al 1-844-724-3737 si necesita ayuda para encontrar recursos.

Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky

Ten years ago queer and transgender immigrants came together during a time of growing fear and uncertainty for immigrant communities to launch WAISN because no one else was coming to save us.

If you believe in this work, you know it takes resources to keep this movement going. Please donate today to help us build the next 10 years of immigrant justice for our communities.

Power our next 10 years

    https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/1050350/

    We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

    For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the Tri-Cities together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

    We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

    For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
